54) CHAUDHAVIN KA CHAND HO YA AFTAAB HO

Chaudhavin Ka Chaand Ho, Yaa Aaftaab Ho
Are you the full moon, or Are You the glowing sun
Jo Bhi Ho Tum, Khuda Ki Qasam, Laajavaab Ho
Whatever you are, By god, you are Incomparable

Zulfein Hain Jaise Kaandhon Pe Baadal Jhuke Hue
Your flowing hair is like clouds on your shoulders Bent Low
Aankhein Hain Jaise Mai Ke Payaale Bhare Hue
Your eyes are like wine-cups filled up to their brims
Masti Hai Jis Mein Pyaar Ki Tum, Wo Sharaab Ho
Are You that wine which contains the Euphoria of love

Chehra Hai Jaise Jheel Mein Hastaa Hua Kanval
Your face is like the lotus Laughing/blooming in a lake
Yaa Zindagi Ke Saaz Pe Chhedi Hui Ghazal
Or a ballad being played on the tune of life
Jaan-e-Bahaar Tum Kisi Shaayar Ka Khwaab Ho
O beautiful Darling you are the dream of some Bard

Honton Pe Khelti Hai Tabassum Ki Bijliyaan
Like lightning a smile keeps crackling on your lips
Sajde Tumhaari Raah Mein Karti Hain Kehkashaan
constellations bow down on the path where you walk
Duniya-E-Husn-O-Ishq Ka Tum Hi Shabaab Ho
You are the prime of Youth of a world of beauty and love

BEETE DINON KI YAAD SATAATI HAI AAJ BHI

Beete Dino Ki Yaad Sataati Hai Aaj Bhi
Memory of the days of past troubles me even today

Kya Wo Zamaane Phir Kabhi Waapas Na Aayenge
Will that time never ever return back again
Kya Hum Tamaam Umra Yoon Hi Roye Jaayenge
Will I, my entire life keep crying away like this

Beete Dino Ki Yaad Sataati Hai Aaj Bhi
Memory of the days of past troubles me even today

Jab Ishq Par Bahaar Thi Woh Din Kidhar Gaye
When love was in full bloom where have those days gone away
Dil Toot Ne Se Pehle Hi Hum Kyon Na Mar Gaye
Before my heart could break, why did I not pass away
Ab Kya Raha Humaare Liye Is Dayaar Mein
Now what is left for me in this place
Aansoo Bhi Khatm Ho Gaye Ro Ro Ke Pyaar Mein
Even my tears are exhausted, by crying and crying for love
Aankhon Se Dil Ka Khoon Kahaan Tak Bahaayenge
To what extent should I shed the blood of love through my eyes 

Kya Hum Tamaam Umr Yoon Hi Roye Jaayenge
Will I, my entire life keep crying away like this

Beete Dino Ki Yaad Sataati Hai Aaj Bhi
Memory of the days of past troubles me even today

Kya Wo Zamaane Phir Kabhi Waapas Na Aayenge
Will that time never ever return back again
Kya Hum Tamaam Umra Yoon Hi Roye Jaayenge
Will I, my entire life keep crying away like this

Beete Dino Ki Yaad Sataati Hai Aaj Bhi
The memory of the days of past troubles me even today

Nazadeek Tum Se Jaan-E-Wafa Hum Hai Aaj Bhi
I am close to you O my faithful sweetheart even today
Hai Sirf Darmiyaan Mein Deewar-E-Zindagi
What remains between us is a separation of life and death
Yeh Pardaa Uth Gaaya To Gham-E-Ishq Ki Kasam
When this curtain is raised, in the promise of grief of love 
Dil Ko Yakeen Hai Ke Tumhe Paa Hi Lenge Hum
My heart believes that you shall surely be with me
Phir Apni Daastaan Ko Haqeeqat Banaayenge
Once again I will make our story a reality

Beete Dino Ki Yaad Sataati Hai Aaj Bhi
The memory of the days of past troubles me even today

Kya Wo Zamaane Phir Kabhi Waapas Na Aayenge
Will that time never ever return back again

56) ZINDAGI JAB BHI TERI BAZM MEIN LAATI HUMEIN

Zindagi Jab Bhi Teri Bazm Mein Laati Hai Humein
Whenever life brings me in your company
Ye Zameen Chand Se Behtar Nazar Aati Hai Humein
This world looks better than the moon to me

Surkh Phoolon Se Mehak Uthati Hain Dil Ki Rahein
Red flowers give fragrance to the avenues of my heart
Din Dhale Yoon Teri Aawaaz Bulaati Hai Humein
When the day turns to dusk your voice calls out to me
Yaad Teri Kabhi Dastak Kabhi Saragoshi Se
Your memory, sometimes by a door-knock or a whisper
 
Raat Ke Pichhale Pehar Roz Jagaati Hai Humein
In the latter part of every night awakens me
Har Mulaaqaat Ka Anjaam Judaai Kyun Hai
Why is separation the result of every union
Ab To Har Waqt Yehi Baat Sataati Hai Humein
All the time now this issue keeps bothering me

Seene Mein Jalan Aankhon Mein Tufaan Saa Kyun Hai
Why is there a scorching in the heart and storm in the eyes
Is Shahar Mein Har Shaks Pareshaan Saa Kyun Hai
Why does every person of this city look so distressed

Dil Hai To Dhadakane Kaa Bahaanaa Koi Dhoondhe
If there is a heart, it should search for some excuse to pulsate
Patthar Ki Tarhaa Behis-O-Bejaan Saa Kyun Hai
Like a stone why is it so insensitive and lifeless

Tanahai Ki Ye Kaun Si, Manzil Hain Rafeeqon
Which destination of lonesomeness is this my friends
Taa-Hadd-e-Nazar Ek Bayaabaan Saa Kyun Hai
To the farthest extent of my sight why is there a wilderness

Hum Ne To Koi Baat Nikaali Nahin Gam Ki
I did not begin some conversation about sorrow
Wo Zood-E-Pashemaan Pashemaan Saa Kyun Hai
Why is that easily embarrassed person so embarrassed
 
Kya Koi Nayi Baat Nazar Aati Hai Hum Mein
Is there some new facet visible in my countenance
Aaeenaa Humein Dekh Ke Hairaan Saa Kyun Hai

Ye Kis Mukaam Par Hayaat, Mujhko Leke Aa Gai
What kind of a situation, has my existence brought me into
Na Bas Khushi Pe Hai Jahaan, Na Gam Pe Ikhtiyaar Hai
Where I have no control over my joy, nor power over my grief

Tamaam Umr Ka Hisaab, Maangti Hai Zindagi
My life questions me about the reckoning of an entire lifespan
Ye Mera Dil Kahe To Kya, Ke Khud Se Sharmsar Hai
So what if my heart asserts, it is shameful about it's own self

I determined the lengthy journey of a lifetime by myself

Umr Ka Lambaa Safar Tay Kiya Tanhaa Humne
I determined the lengthy journey of a lifetime by myself

Justaju Jiski Thi Usko To Na Paayaa Humne
I did not get the one for whom I had my quest
Is Bahaane Se Magar Dekh Li Duniyaa Humne

But by this excuse I grasped the world

Justaju Jiski Thi ......

60) KABHI KISI KO MUKAMMAL JAHAN NAHIN MILTA

Kabhi Kisi Ko Mukammal Jahaan Nahin Miltaa
No one can possess the whole universe at once
Kahin Zameen To Kahin Aasamaan Nahin Miltaa
In some places land while in other places the sky cannot be found

Jise Bhi Dekhiye Vo Apane Aap Mein Gum Hai
Anyone you notice seems to be lost within their own selves
Zubaan Mili Hai Magar Hamzubaan Nahin Miltaa
A language can be learnt but those who speak it cannot be found

Bujhaa Sakaa Hai Bhalaa Kaun Waqt Ke Shole
Who could extinguish the fire-blasts of time 
Ye Aisi Aag Hai Jis Mein Dhuaan Nahin Miltaa
This is the kind of fire in which smoke cannot be found

Tere Jahaan Men Aisaa Nahin Ki Pyaar Na Ho
In your world it is not that love cannot be found
Jahaan Ummeed Ho Is ki, Wahaan Nahin Miltaa
Where one expects to find it there love cannot be found

ASJ's note:

With reference to the above mentioned Poem listed as number 60: We have decided to put this under Shahryar, there is some suggestions that this Poem was written by Nida Fazli, I did my personal checks and have found no conclusive evidence to substanstiate the Poem was done by Sahib Fazli, until we do have something concrete that the authorship belongs to Fazli Sahib, we will continue to treat it as a Shahryar composition.

Our translator as well feel that with all the evidence that he has, all is pointing to a Shahryar trade mark, so although we are not 100 percent sure, there is more than a 50 percent chance that we both think it goes Shahryar way.

As a result for now, it goes to Shahryar
